Design-Build Remodel Done With Sustainability and Integrity

What Does “Design-Build” Mean?

The answer’s right there in the name. From designing to building, we do it all. A design-build construction job consists of designers and builders working together from the onset. With an on-staff architect, we ensure we’re meeting your vision from the very first day.

The result? A finished product that’s more time-efficient, cohesive, and aligned with our client’s goals.

DESIGN BUILD

At Sierra James, design-build isn’t just our process—it’s our passion. Unlike traditional construction approaches where you coordinate between separate architects and contractors, our integrated team handles every aspect of your remodel under one roof. This means seamless communication, streamlined timelines, and a finished product that truly reflects your vision.

Our on-staff architect works hand-in-hand with our construction team from day one, ensuring that every design decision is both beautiful and buildable. We believe the best remodels happen when creativity meets craftsmanship, and our design-build approach makes that collaboration possible. From initial sketches to final walkthrough, you’ll work with the same passionate team who understands your goals and is committed to bringing them to life.

The result? Exceptional remodels delivered with the transparency and quality that Central Oregon homeowners have come to expect from Sierra James.

KITCHEN REMODEL

The kitchen is the heart of your home—where families gather, meals are shared, and memories are made. At Sierra James, we believe your kitchen remodel should reflect how you actually live, not just how magazines suggest you should. That’s why we take time to understand your cooking habits, entertaining style, and family dynamics before we put pencil to paper.

Our kitchen remodels balance beautiful design with smart functionality. We’ll help you navigate everything from optimal workflow and storage solutions to selecting materials that can handle Central Oregon’s lifestyle. Whether you’re passionate about cooking and need professional-grade appliances, or you prefer simple elegance with easy maintenance, we tailor every kitchen to fit your specific needs.

Our experienced team handles the complex coordination of plumbing, electrical, and structural work while maintaining open communication throughout the process. We know kitchen remodels can disrupt your daily life, so we work efficiently to minimize inconvenience while never compromising on the quality of craftsmanship that defines every project we undertake. The result is a kitchen that’s not only beautiful but also perfectly suited to your lifestyle.

What to Expect

When you choose Sierra James for your remodeling project, our team will work to get every detail right—from conception to budget to construction. We pride ourselves on a fully transparent process that includes budgeting and cost data in real-time and a live schedule, so you always know what is happening and with whom.

When working with us for design-build services, our process is as follows:

1. Initial Phone Call and Visit

After the initial phone call to discuss project scope, we initiate a site visit to meet you and walk through your space. By the end of this visit, we’ll typically give a ballpark estimate on cost and timeline.

2. Design and Costing Agreement

Once this is agreed upon, we’ll enter into a Design and Costing Agreement with deposit.

3. Design Phase

The design phase includes feasibility studies, defining scope, and architectural and interior design.

4. Costing Phase

Once the design is approved, the project enters the costing phase. Our Pre-Construction Manager sends Requests for Proposals, schedules onsite walkthroughs, and assigns allowance amounts. Once compiled, we’ll present the final budget.

5. Permitting and Project Schedule

Upon budget approval, we’ll submit drawings to the planning department for permit (if applicable) and draft the project schedule.

6. Construction

During the construction phase, your project manager’s priority is an open line of communication. During the entire construction process, clients have access to daily costs and schedules.

7. Final Walkthrough

With the last nail in place, it’s time to enjoy your new space! We do a final walkthrough to ensure everything is exactly as it should be.
